The MOSAIC project aims to support underrepresented founders in Europe by enhancing inclusive entrepreneurship education. It focuses on developing tailored educational programmes that address the specific needs of these entrepreneurs. The project involves a consortium of experienced organisations and aims to create a culturally sensitive, accessible curriculum. This will help underrepresented entrepreneurs become investment-ready and foster a more inclusive entrepreneurial environment across Europe.
The MOSAIC project addresses specific needs identified in the context of Entrepreneurship Education for ethnic entrepreneurs and society. For Entrepreneurship Education Providers, there's a significant gap in the ability to effectively educate ethnic founders. This is due to a lack of specialised knowledge, financial resources, and capacity. The education offered needs to be more accessible, inclusive, and up-to-date, incorporating comprehensive management knowledge and broader skills in line with the EntreComp framework.
Developing a Competence Framework and Curriculum to enhance skills and knowledge in entrepreneurship education, particularly for underrepresented founders and educators.
Creating Course materials and a Tutors Guide to train educators in supporting underrepresented founders in gaining investment readiness and to raise investor awareness for inclusive financing. These efforts aim to improve the impact and inclusivity of adult entrepreneurship education across Europe.
This work package will deliver a web-based assessment app, offering personalised feedback to identify users' knowledge gaps and investment readiness. The app features a comprehensive questionnaire and a feedback generator, providing detailed reports in PDF format and will be translated into a range of languages for wider accessibility.
This work package enhances the project by introducing an Interactive Networking Hub with learning resources, a Knowledge Toolbox with practical tools for ethnic founders and investors, and a Connector Guide for organising networking events. These components are designed to increase investment readiness, promote inclusive investing, and facilitate effective collaboration and knowledge sharing among all stakeholders.
